The Section headings and italicized summaries contained below are for your convenience only, and do not have any legal meaning or effect.

2. What is the RunBuggy Service?

RunBuggy is a technology-enabled freight brokering and online platform that allows car Shippers and Carriers to connect and arrange for transportation through an easy-to-use app.

The RunBuggy Service is an online technology platform that provides a marketplace where those seeking to have vehicles transported, including individuals, vehicle manufacturers, finance companies, leasing and rental companies, car dealerships, and vehicle auctions (each, a “Shipper”) can connect with owners and operators of heavy vehicles or commercial motor vehicles who provide commercial transportation services (“Carriers”) and arrange for transportation. Transportation services provided by Carriers to Shippers (collectively, “User” or “Users”) that connect through the RunBuggy Service shall be referred to collectively as the “Transport Services.”

RunBuggy is a federally licensed freight broker as defined by 49 USC §13102(2) under authority granted by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (“FMCSA”) of the U.S. Department of Transportation. As a freight broker, RunBuggy does not take possession, custody, or control of any cargo, nor does it provide Transport Services.

THE PROVISION OF TRANSPORT SERVICES IS SOLELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CARRIER WITHOUT ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY TO RUNBUGGY. RUNBUGGY DOES NOT ACT AS A CARRIER AND DOES NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES UNDERTAKE ANY CARRIAGE OR TRANSPORTATION MANDATE WHATSOEVER.

Shippers. You acknowledge and agree that you are entering into a legally binding agreement directly with the Carrier for the Transport Services unless the transaction is prohibited by Applicable Law or by this Agreement. Although the RunBuggy Service may provide the option to purchase different service levels (e.g., Standard, Gold, or Platinum), you acknowledge that, unless otherwise noted by the Carrier, pick-up dates, delivery dates, and transit times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. A Carrier reserves the right to inspect your shipment before accepting it, and to refuse to transport any item prohibited by this Agreement or by Applicable Law. You further represent and warrant that; (i) each vehicle you place on the RunBuggy Service for Transport Services is exclusively owned by you and in your sole possession and control (or you possess all requisite legal authority to ship the vehicle) and fit for safe transportation and in compliance with all Applicable Laws; and (ii) you hold all licenses and other authorizations required under Applicable Laws to use the RunBuggy Service for the Transport Services you request.

Carriers. You must legally be able to transport the shipments you book through RunBuggy. You agree that it is your sole obligation to comply with all Applicable Laws that may apply, including all local, state, provincial and federal licensing requirements. Carriers agree that they are solely responsible for all aspects of the Transport Service, which is solely provided by the Carrier and not by RunBuggy. You understand and acknowledge that all shipment information is provided by other Users and that RunBuggy has no control over or responsibility for the accuracy of this information. You are responsible for reading all shipment details, and by booking shipments on the RunBuggy Service, you are entering into a legally binding agreement directly with the Shipper to complete the services as requested by the Shipper through the RunBuggy Service. You further agree that, in the event of a conflict between the terms, conditions and provisions of any bill of lading, receipt, tariff, general terms and conditions or shipping document issued by a Carrier or Shipper and those of this Agreement, the terms, conditions, and provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control. Nothing contained in any such bill of lading, receipt, or shipping document shall be construed to expand or amend the rights and obligations of RunBuggy under this Agreement.

Federal, Provincial and State Laws. In the United States, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (“FMCSA”), part of the U.S. Department of Transportation, requires that all carriers handling interstate shipments register with it and provide certain information. You can determine the registration and safety statutes applicable to you at www.fmcsa.dot.gov and by consulting your legal counsel. Certain Transport Services may involve movements only within one state. Several states have statutes and regulations pertaining to such intrastate transportation. In Canada, certain provincial regulators having jurisdiction over commercial carrier operations (collectively, the “Provincial Transport Ministries“) require that all carriers operating within their province register with such regulator. Certain Transport Services may involve movements only within one province. Several provinces have statutes and regulations pertaining to both intraprovincial and interprovincial transportation.

We suggest you check with the applicable state’s Department of Transportation or applicable province’s Provincial Transport Ministry and your legal counsel to determine application of any state or provincial laws and regulations to you and your provision of Transport Services. You are solely responsible for determining the registration requirements and safety statutes and regulatory compliance obligations applicable to you. You are solely responsible for ensuring that you know and that you comply with all Applicable Laws.

3. What RunBuggy is NOT.

RunBuggy is NOT a motor carrier.

RUNBUGGY IS NOT A MOTOR CARRIER UNDER 49 USC §13102(14) OR ANY OTHER STATE OR FEDERAL REGULATION. RUNBUGGY IS NOT AN OWNER OR OPERATOR OF HEAVY VEHICLES OR A CARRIER UNDER THE QUEBEC ACT RESPECTING OWNERS, OPERATORS AND DRIVERS OF HEAVY VEHICLES, THE REGULATION RESPECTING THE REQUIREMENTS FOR BILLS OF LADING, THE CIVIL CODE OF QUEBEC, THE BRITISH COLUMBIA MOTOR VEHICLE ACT REGULATIONS, B.C. REG. 26/58 OR OTHER PROVINCIAL EQUIVALENTS OR ANY OTHER PROVINCIAL OR FEDERAL REGULATION. NO INTERPRETATION OF WRITTEN OR ORAL REMARKS IN ANY AGREEMENT OR DOCUMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO IMPLY THAT RUNBUGGY IS AN OWNER OR OPERATOR OF HEAVY VEHICLES OR CARRIER.

The Carrier-Specific Obligations set forth in Section 7 below notwithstanding,  RunBuggy has no control over the quality, safety, or legal aspects of the Transport Services or the transactions between Users. RunBuggy has no control over the accuracy of listings or the ability of Shippers to send items. We cannot ensure the Shipper or Carrier will complete a shipment. We cannot and do not guarantee the ability of Users to complete or fulfill any services booked through the RunBuggy Service. RunBuggy is not responsible for the conduct, whether online or offline, of any User of the RunBuggy Service or Services. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Users.

You acknowledge and agree that all communications, correspondence, verbal or written or by electronic means, or any warranties or representations made with regard to the arrangement of transportation services are not provided by us and are specifically and solely between you and the other User. Opinions, advice, statements, offers, or other information or content concerning RunBuggy or made available through the RunBuggy Service, but not directly by us, are those of their respective authors, and should not necessarily be relied upon. Such authors are solely responsible for such content.

For the convenience of the parties to a shipment, the RunBuggy Service generates an electronic and printable bill of lading utilizing the booking information provided by both parties for your use in tendering the shipment (“Bill of Lading“). The Bill of Lading issued in connection with each shipment is non-negotiable and shall be deemed, conclusively, to have been prepared by the Carrier. The parties agree that RunBuggy does not issue the Bill of Lading and that RunBuggy is not a party to the Bill of Lading (the presence of the RunBuggy name and RunBuggy Trademarks on the Bill of Lading reflect only that the RunBuggy Service was used to arrange the shipment). If the Shipper makes changes to a shipment after booking, then the Shipper is required to either make changes to the Bill of Lading or cancel the shipment and rebook with current information. Carriers shall have no obligation to honor rate quotes in any of the following instances: (i) any alteration of the Bill of Lading or tendering of shipments to any carrier other than the selected Carrier; or (ii) the use of a bill of lading not generated via the RunBuggy Service.

4. Who is authorized to use the RunBuggy Service?

6. Pricing, fees, and payments.

RunBuggy will determine pricing, present it in the app, collect Charges from the Shipper, and pay the Carrier for Transport Services via our third-party payment processor(s).

6.1 Shipper Charges. If you use the RunBuggy Service as a Shipper, you agree to pay all charges for Transport Services placed by your Users on the RunBuggy Service (“Charges”). Charges displayed in the RunBuggy Service include the transport fee and other applicable fees, tolls, surcharges, and taxes, including sales tax where applicable. RunBuggy reserves the right to retain and remit sales or other tax as required by the relevant taxing authority. You are responsible for all Charges incurred under your User account regardless of your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof. Charges are due and payable immediately upon completion of the Transport Service (i.e., delivery of the shipped vehicle), and your payment method on file will be charged at that time.

6.2 Transport Service Pricing. By accepting this Agreement and utilizing the RunBuggy Service, you agree to the Charges set forth based upon RunBuggy’s charge schedule at the time of ordering Transport Services, that such Charges are commercially reasonable, consistent with market conditions, and in line with pricing you would generally offer or accept for that Transport Service. RunBuggy reserves the right to change the Charge schedule at any time, in our discretion, based upon local market factors. Your continued use of the RunBuggy Service after the effective date of such change to the Charge schedule shall constitute your agreement to such revised Charge schedule and any other changes to this Agreement.

6.3 Obligation to Pay Charges. When you use the RunBuggy Service to complete an order for Transport Services you will be directed to our third-party payment processing service’s portal for fulfillment of the applicable Charges. You hereby represent and warrant that: (i) the credit card and banking information supplied to the third-party payment processor is true, correct and complete; (ii) payments for Charges made by you (including any Authorized Auction) will be honored by your credit card company or depositary financial institution; and (iii) you shall pay for all Charges made under your account credentials using the RunBuggy Service.

All financial information is collected directly by the third-party payment processing service subject to their policies and terms of use. The security of your personally identifiable financial information and the payments you make to the third-party payment processing service is outside of our control and RunBuggy shall not be responsible for any consequences or damages arising from your disclosing personally identifiable financial information to or payments using the third-party payment processing service. Charges shall only be made through the RunBuggy Service and Charges are non- refundable, regardless of disruption to the RunBuggy Service or Transport Services, or any other reason whatsoever.

6.5 RunBuggy Service Fee. If you are a Carrier, you agree that RunBuggy may retain a fee from the Charge received from the Shipper for the Transport Services you provide (the “RunBuggy Service Fee”). RunBuggy reserves the right to change the RunBuggy Service Fee at any time in RunBuggy’s discretion based upon local market and other factors. Continued use of the RunBuggy Service after any such change in the RunBuggy Service Fee calculation shall constitute your consent to such change.

6.6 Carrier Payments. If you are a Carrier, you will receive payment for your provision of Transport Services through your third-party payment processor account only following successful completion of Transport Services, as determined in RunBuggy’s sole discretion. Transport Services shall not be deemed successfully completed if the directions set forth in the order notes for a transportation order are not followed. All Charges are subject to the RunBuggy Service Fee. All Carrier payments will be inclusive of any taxes or other amounts that we are required to pay by law. RunBuggy further reserves the right to retain and remit any taxes as required by the relevant taxing authority. Carrier agrees that RunBuggy may further withhold and offset from any payment otherwise payable to Carrier any amount that Carrier may owe to RunBuggy or Shipper, including but not limited to, payment for damaged, lost, or stolen vehicles, or that is subject to a validly issued lien or levy. Upon receipt of such validly issued lien or levy, RunBuggy shall suspend Carrier’s: (i) access to the RunBuggy Service; and (ii) ability to receive payments though our third-party payment processor until such time that the lien or levy is lifted or otherwise satisfied.You acknowledge and agree that RunBuggy may, in its sole discretion, expedite, delay and/or reduce your payment by up to 5% based upon RunBuggy’s evaluation of your historical performance in providing the Transport Services, including, but not limited to, your compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

6.7 Authorized Auctions. In certain situations, RunBuggy maintains relationships with third party auctions that use RunBuggy to transport vehicles on behalf of their customers (each an “Authorized Auction”). Any User who authorizes an Authorized Auction under such User’s profile settings on the RunBuggy Service agrees that such Authorized Auction shall be entitled to create and place orders on behalf of such User and by so checking the box authorizes all such transactions until the User removes such authorization under User’s profile settings.

6.8 Order Cancellations. Orders for Transport Services may be cancelled at any time prior to a Carrier picking up your vehicle, after which orders are not cancelable and Charges are non-refundable.

YOUR USE OF THE RUNBUGGY SERVICE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE RUNBUGGY SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. RUNBUGGY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY REGARDING THE RUNBUGGY SERVICE AND THE TRANSPORT SERVICES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE RUNBUGGY SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR- FREE AND DO NOT PROMISE ANY SPECIFIC RESULTS FROM USE OF THE RUNBUGGY SERVICE AND/OR THE TRANSPORT SERVICES, INCLUDING THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE OR RECEIVE TRANSPORT SERVICES AT ANY GIVEN LOCATION OR TIME. YOU AGREE THAT THE ENTIRE RISK ARISING OUT OF YOUR ACCESS OR USE OF THE RUNBUGGY SERVICE REMAINS SOLELY WITH YOU, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

15. RunBuggy’s liability to you is limited.

Your ability to bring claims regarding use of the RunBuggy Service is limited, as is RunBuggy’s liability to you.

YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT RUNBUGGY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, INCLUDINGDAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, USE, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF RUNBUGGY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, DELICT, EXTRA-CONTRACTUAL LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, RESULTING FROM: (I) THE USE OR THE INABILITY TO USE THE RUNBUGGY SERVICE; (II) ANY TRANSPORT SERVICES ARRANGED USING THE RUNBUGGY SERVICE AND THE RESULT OR FAILURE OF SUCH TRANSPORT SERVICES; (iii) THE COST OF PROCUREMENT OF ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORT SERVICES; (IV) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR DATA; (V) STATEMENTS OR CONDUCT OF USERS OR ANY THIRD PARTY ON THE RUNBUGGY SERVICE; OR (VI) ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE RUNBUGGY SERVICE.

IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE RUNBUGGY SERVICE OR WITH THIS AGREEMENT, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USE OF THE RUNBUGGY SERVICE.

16. You are responsible for any damage you cause RunBuggy.

You agree to indemnify RunBuggy from all claims based on your use of the RunBuggy Service.

You will defend, indemnify, and hold RunBuggy, including our affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, successors and assigns, and each of our respective officers, directors, employees, agents, or shareholders harmless from any claims, actions, suits, losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to or arising out of your use of the RunBuggy Service and participation in the Transport Services, including: (i) your breach of this Agreement or the documents it incorporates by reference; (ii) your violation of any Applicable Law or the rights of a third party, including Carriers, Shippers, other motorists, and pedestrians, as a result of your own interaction with such third party; (ii) any allegation that any materials that you submit to us or transmit through the RunBuggy Service or to us infringe or otherwise violate the copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property or other rights of any third party; (iv) your ownership, use or operation of a motor vehicle, including your provision of Transport Services as a Carrier; (v) any allegation that RunBuggy is obligated for the payment of wages, expenses, benefits, taxes, or any other employer obligation with respect to any person employed by or otherwise utilized by User in the course of receiving or providing Transportation Services; and/or (vi) any other activities in connection with the RunBuggy Services. This indemnity shall be applicable without regard to the negligence of any party, including any indemnified person. Shippers are third party beneficiaries of this paragraph.

17. Vehicle loss, theft, or damage.

Claims regarding vehicles lost, stolen, or damaged during transport should be directed to your Carrier, but RunBuggy can help manage your claim and help get you paid.

As set forth in Section 7 above, Carriers are directly and solely responsible for all losses and damages caused by or related to Carrier’s provision of Transport Services, including loss, theft, or damage to a Shipper’s vehicle, irrespective of the limits of the Carrier’s insurance coverage. Shippers must contact their Carrier directly (within 72 hours of delivery) to file a claim for alleged vehicle loss, theft, or damage, and simultaneously notify RunBuggy of their claim. If the Carrier cannot be reached, RunBuggy customer service will assist Shipper in making its claim against the Carrier and will keep Shipper advised of the status of the pending claim.

The above notwithstanding, if: (i) your vehicle is lost, stolen, or damaged while in the care, custody, and control of the Carrier providing Transport Services; and (ii) the Carrier has cargo liability insurance coverage less than the vehicle’s fair market value or reasonable repair cost, then RunBuggy’s insurers will cover the difference between the vehicle’s fair market value (if lost or stolen) or reasonable cost of repair (if damaged) and any available insurance coverage held by the Carrier, in an amount up to but not to exceed any coverage provided by RunBuggy’s insurance in effect on the date of loss, and subject to any applicable deductibles or coverage denials by RunBuggy’s insurers.

All Users agree that any such claim facilitation by RunBuggy is provided only as an optional customer service, and in no way obligates RunBuggy to successfully resolve such claims, or places liability on RunBuggy for the alleged damage underlying such claims. In the event a dispute arises between a Carrier and a Shipper with respect to this Section, the parties agree that: (a) RunBuggy shall not be a party to and is hereby released and discharged from all liability for such claim; and (b) the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred, in addition to damages and any other relief to which it is entitled.

18. Class action waiver and binding arbitration.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITED BY LAW, YOU AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RUNBUGGY SERVICE WILL BE EXCLUSIVELY RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION. THIS MEANS THAT ANY DISPUTE YOU HAVE THAT IS COVERED BY THIS PROVISION WILL BE RESOLVED BY A PRIVATE ARBITRATOR AND NOT BY A COURT.

The arbitration will be conducted before JAMS or its successor. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, arbitration will be held in Phoenix, Arizona, but the arbitration will be conducted by videoconference if either party requests the hearing to be conducted by videoconference, before a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties, or if the parties cannot mutually agree, a single arbitrator appointed by JAMS, and will be conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by JAMS. The language of the arbitration will be English, unless you reside in Quebec, in which case the language of the arbitration can be in French if either party makes such a request. The arbitration must commence within forty-five (45) days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by either party. The arbitrator’s decision and award will be made and delivered within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of the arbitration and within six (6) months of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator will not have the power to award either party any damages in excess of the limitation on actual compensatory, direct damages set forth in above. If you are resident in Quebec, RunBuggy will pay any filing fees and arbitrator’s fees over $250 CAD, subject to potential reimbursement pursuant to the arbitrator’s discretion to award costs and expenses. The arbitrator may, in his or her discretion, assess costs and expenses (including the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing part) against any party to a proceeding, to the extent the same is permitted by law. Any party refusing to comply with an order of the arbitrators will be liable for costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the other party in enforcing the award. Any arbitrator shall be a retired judge of any court in Arizona and experienced in commercial transactions. Resolution of the claim or dispute shall be based solely upon the substantive law governing the claims and defenses pleaded, the arbitrator shall apply the laws of the State of Arizona and shall be required to follow such law, with the exception that if you are resident in Quebec, the arbitrator shall apply the laws of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. The arbitrator may not invoke any basis other than such controlling law. The award shall be in writing, signed by the arbitrator, and shall include a statement setting forth the reasons for the disposition of any claim. The award shall include findings of fact and conclusions of law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of temporary or preliminary injunctive relief, any party may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm. The provisions of this arbitration Section will be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

You understand and agree that you and RunBuggy may each bring claims in arbitration against the other only in an individual capacity and not on a class, collective action, or representative basis (“Class Action Waiver”). You understand and agree that you and RunBuggy both are waiving the right to pursue or have a dispute resolved as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective or representative proceeding, except where such waiver is prohibited by Applicable Law. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any claim or issue any relief on any basis other than an individual basis. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any claim or issue any relief on a class, collective, or representative basis.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the JAMS rules or otherwise, disputes regarding the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability or validity of the Class Action Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.

If you are resident in the United States, in any case in which: (i) the dispute is filed as a class, collective, or representative action; and (ii) there is a final judicial determination that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable as to any Claims, the class, collective, and/or representative action on such Claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the Class Action Waiver shall be enforced in arbitration on an individual basis as to all other Claims to the fullest extent possible.

19. You agree to comply with export laws.

You may not use the RunBuggy Service if you: (i) are located in a country designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; (ii) are listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties; or (iii) prohibited from using the RunBuggy Service under Canadian export or sanctions laws.

Your use of the RunBuggy Service is subject to U.S. and international control or export laws and regulations (“Export Laws”). You agree to strictly comply with all such Export Laws, as may be required. You represent and warrant that you are not: (i) located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; (ii) listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties; (iii) listed on the Consolidated Canadian Autonomous Sanctions List; (iv) otherwise subject to specific sanctions regulations made under the Canadian Special Economic Measures Act (SEMA) and the Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act; or (v) listed on any other Canadian Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You will indemnify and hold RunBuggy harmless from all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including attorney’s fees) arising from or relating to any breach by you of your obligations under this Section.

20. Terminating your access to the RunBuggy Services.

RunBuggy may terminate your license and access to the RunBuggy Service at any time for any reason set forth below.

You agree that RunBuggy, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the RunBuggy Service and remove and discard any content within the RunBuggy Service, for any reason, including for lack of use or if RunBuggy believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of this Agreement. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of the RunBuggy Service, may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. RunBuggy may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the RunBuggy Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the RunBuggy Service under any provision of this Agreement may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that RunBuggy may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the RunBuggy Service. Further, you agree that RunBuggy will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the RunBuggy Service. Upon any termination of this Agreement, all provisions herein which are intended to survive to give meaning to their terms shall survive any termination or lapse of this Agreement, including all definitions, disclaimers, indemnification obligations, limitation of liabilities, and general terms.

  • Subject to section 18, this Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Arizona without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and RunBuggy agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within Maricopa County, Arizona, with the exception that if you are resident in Quebec, the court shall apply the laws of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.
  • In the event a dispute arises regarding this Agreement or the use of the RunBuggy Service, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred, in addition to damages and any other relief to which it is entitled, to extent permitted under Applicable Law.
  • The failure of RunBuggy to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
